Dear Fellow Fossil Collectors:

Thank you for your interest in our 2012 field season of Paleontological survey and excavation in Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota. The 150,000 plus acres (9 ranches) that we will be collecting on have many excellent exposures that range in age from the Middle Cretaceous (c.90 million years ago) to the Late Cretaceous (c.65 million years ago) to the Oligocene (c. 31 million years ago). The majority of our ranches are in the White River, Pierre Shale, Hell Creek and Lance Creek Formations located in Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota. A list of representative fossils recovered from the ranches include the following:

  • Triceratops
  • Several types of crocodile
  • Edmontosaurus
  • Numerous types of fresh water turtle
  • Torosaurus
  • Pachycephalosaur
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • Dromaeosaurs (Raptor)
  • Struthiomimus
  • Oreodont
  • Camel
  • Hyracodon
  • Subhyracodon
